The auction stage was located in the center like a wrestling ring.
On the other hand, the private rooms were like the VIP stands of the wrestling ring, allowing one to clearly see the auction stage.
Below the auction stage, there were rows of seats. These were ordinary seats.
However, according to Jiang Hu, even these ordinary seats weren't suitable for ordinary people to sit in.
Even the city lord of Qingyang City could only sit at the end of the ordinary seats.
In fact, when there were many people, there was not even a seat for him.
The enemy Jiang Chen had just provoked, the sect master of the Qingyuan Sect, Xu Wanqing, was currently sitting opposite Jiang Chen.
Their gazes met, making Xu Wanqing gnash his teeth in anger.
"Well done, Tian Yuyin. This is the explanation you gave me."
The furious Xu Wanqing punched the table, but the table instantly broke into pieces.
"Father, I must kill him."
Xu Zhangzhong's eyes were also filled with rage. Since when had he ever been strangled by someone?
More importantly, it was in front of the woman he had taken a liking to. Such humiliation was absolutely intolerable.
"Don't worry. Although this kid has some strength, we're not to be trifled with."
Xu Wanqing stroked his beard, his eyes brimming with confidence.
After all, he was not alone this time. There were still disciples of the Qingyuan Sect behind him.
These people were the elites he had personally trained. Once they formed a formation, including himself, they would be equivalent to two spirit qi masters.
"Then father, that woman …"
Xu Zhangzhong said with a wretched smile.
"Don't worry. What's yours will always be yours."
Glancing at his son, Xu Wanqing already had an idea in his heart.
After all, even he would be moved by such a beautiful woman.
Hence, he had to taste such a stunner first. As for afterwards?
That would be another story.
However, he had come with a purpose this time. Hence, he was determined to win this auction.
"The first item is the Tianyuan Mirror."
At this moment, Tian Yuyin also finished his opening remarks and went straight to the main topic, releasing the first item to be auctioned.
At the same time, the crowd's emotions were instantly stirred.
Some of the more knowledgeable individuals even loudly announced the Tianyuan Treasure Mirror's abilities.
"It's the long-lost Tianyuan Treasure Mirror. The Thousand Treasure Pavilion is indeed a top chamber of commerce. They even have such a treasure."
"Brother, what exactly is this Tianyuan mirror? Why are you so excited?"
"This mirror is said to be able to see through everything within a thousand miles. To put it bluntly, if you don't hide your shit properly, it will be discovered. How can I not be excited?"
"F * ck, isn't this a peeping Divine Artifact?"
"Too small, too small."
"What do you mean?"
"Three hundred years ago, Grandmaster Duanwang relied on this mirror to secretly learn the martial arts of thousands of clans. From there, he relied on nothing to reach the Grandmaster realm."
"No way, there's such a rumor!"
“.....。”
Listening to the discussions below, Jiang Chen finally understood the Tianyuan Treasure Mirror's miraculous use.
This thing was like a heavenly eye, able to see everything it wanted to see.
No wonder the Grandmaster Duanwang who had this treasure could secretly learn the martial arts of thousands of clans and reach the Grandmaster realm.
"Since everyone knows the miraculous use of this Tianyuan Treasure Mirror, then I won't say more."
Hearing the voices of the people below, Tian Yuyin struck while the iron was hot and said, "The starting price is ten cubic meters of spirit energy. Each increase must not be less than one cubic meter of spirit energy."
Tian Yuyin had just finished bidding when the people below raised their hands one after another. The price instantly rose, and in the blink of an eye, it had risen to fifty cubic meters of spirit energy.
"Can spirit energy be measured in cubic meters?"
Jiang Chen looked at He Li in a daze.
"This … you don't even know this??"
He Li gave Jiang Chen a strange look. No matter what, he was a Henglian Spirit Qi Master. How could he not know this common knowledge?
Looking at He Li's eyes, Jiang Chen touched his nose helplessly. Could he blame himself?
Before he set off for the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he was still in the Houtian Body Refinement realm.
When he returned to the Tiangang school, although he had broken through to the Xiantian Inner Qi Master realm, he left the whirlpool after a few days.
He didn't even have time to look up information about basic knowledge.
In fact, when he faced the beast disaster in Lincheng County, he desperately improved his cultivation and unknowingly reached the Spirit Qi Master realm.
"The cubic meter refers to the spirit energy contained in a Spirit Stone."
"And ten cubic meters of spirit energy probably refers to a piece of inferior-grade Spirit Stone."
"And a hundred cubic meters is the amount of middle-grade Spirit Stones."
"A thousand cubic meters is the capacity of a superior-grade Spirit Stone."
"However, Spirit Stones are formed by the creation of heaven and earth. Although it is small, the Spirit Stones contained in it are like mesons. It is simply immeasurable."
He Li shook her head, but still decided to inform Jiang Chen.
"I see."
Jiang Chen didn't have much of an understanding of this. After all, when he cultivated his internal Qi, he relied on the Dragon Vein and the Geng Metal Spirit Meridian.
As for True Qi, it was even simpler. He just used a Geng Metal Spirit Meridian to fill it with True Qi.
However, after He Li's explanation, Jiang Chen finally understood why some of the Spirit Stones he obtained in the secret realm were Spirit Stone Fragments, while the one he obtained from the Tiger Spider was a piece of inferior-grade Spirit Stone.
In addition to the spirit energy it contained, there was also its purity.
Of course, the purity of spirit energy that could reach the level of inferior-grade Spirit Stones generally wouldn't be that bad.
In fact, Jiang Chen was also curious at that time. How could a small Spirit Stone contain so much spirit energy? It turned out that it was a method to contain mesons.
Jiang Chen only saw He Li here, but Jiang Chen had heard a lot about it in his previous life.
"A piece of middle-grade Spirit Stone. The Tianyuan Mirror is mine."
At that moment, Xu Wanqing stood in the private room and looked down at everyone. "I am the Sect Master of the Clear River Sect. Please give me some face."
"It's the Sect Master of the Clear River Sect, Xu Wanqing. Legend has it that his Blazing Red Lotus can boil 3,000 miles of rivers. I'm actually lucky enough to see him today."
"Since the Sect Master needs it, how can we have any hope of snatching it?"
"Who dares to compete with the Sect Master for it?"
"As expected of the Clear River Sect's Sect Master. His words are so domineering."
“.....”
Listening to the discussions of the ordinary people below, Xu Wanqing narrowed his eyes slightly with a look of enjoyment.
"He Li, how much spirit energy is the corpse of our spirit qi stage Spirit Stones worth?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask a very important question.
He Li had said that the spirit qi stage Spirit Stones' corpses were enough to exchange for the items Jiang Chen needed.
"A spirit qi stage Spirit Stones is equivalent to a piece of high-grade Spirit Stone."
He Li didn't even hesitate to tell him the answer.
It was no wonder Tian Yuyin was so happy at that time.
After all, although source Qi was very little, 2,000 cubic meters of spirit energy was a lot.
Based on Tian Yuyin's current cultivation, the two spirit qi Spirit Stones' corpses were enough for him to cultivate to the pinnacle of the spirit qi stage.
"100 Spirit Stones, huh?"
Jiang Chen looked at Xu Wanqing's smug look. For some reason, he felt very displeased.
Moreover, he had so many spirit qi stage Spirit Stones. Of course, Jiang Chen wanted to disgust Tian Yuyin the most.
"100 Spirit Stones. Is there anyone who wants to make a higher bid?"
"100 Spirit Stones, going once."
"100 Spirit Stones, going twice."
Just as Tian Yuyin was about to hit the wooden gavel, Jiang Chen's voice resounded in the auction hall.
"101 cubic meters of spirit energy."
Everyone looked up and searched for the source of the voice.
It would have been better if they didn't look. After taking a closer look, they realized that it was a bid by a very young man. This surprised everyone.
After all, Xu Wanqing was the Sect Master of the Clear River Sect. Apart from his identity, Xu Wanqing's strength was also well-known.
However, now that he was being challenged by a junior, everyone's thoughts became active.
This was especially so for the people in the private rooms. The corners of their mouths curled up. They were really enjoying the show.
Those who were afraid of Xu Wanqing's power and didn't dare to bid seemed to feel hope again.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
Xu Wanqing was thoroughly enraged by Jiang Chen's provocative voice.
It would have been fine if it was someone else, but this person was Jiang Chen.
Moreover, the bid was neither too high nor too low. Wasn't Tian Yuyin clearly trying to undermine him?
"In the auction, the highest bidder wins."
"Isn't that right, manager Tian?!"
Jiang Chen looked at Tian Yuyin on the auction stage.
"Indeed. In the auction hall, one's identity isn't important. Only the price matters."
Looking at the people around him, how could Tian Yuyin not know what Jiang Chen was up to?
However, he didn't cooperate with Jiang Chen. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for this auction.
"Since he's threatening me, shouldn't I question the credibility of your Thousand Treasure Pavilion?"
Jiang Chen pressed on step by step, even shooting a provocative glance at Xu Wanqing.
"Sect master Xu, if you want this Tianyuan Mirror, you'll have to use the price to suppress him!"
Tian Yuyin had no choice but to speak again.
"Bastard, you actually dare to use the rules to trick me."
Xu Wanqing glared angrily at Jiang Chen and immediately bid, "One hundred and ten cubic meters of spirit qi."
The crowd below looked at each other. The Clear River Sect was rich and overbearing, increasing the price by one low-grade spirit stone at every turn.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Jiang Chen still had eight spirit qi stage demon corpses.
Tian Yuyin, on the other hand, knew. At this moment, he actually hoped that Jiang Chen would raise the price.
He didn't know if others could afford it, but he knew that Jiang Chen could definitely afford it.
"The highest bidder wins. Sect master Xu, please pay attention to your words."
One must know that the higher the price, the more commission he would receive.
Therefore, he wasn't afraid that the mirror wouldn't be sold. Instead, he was afraid that Xu Wanqing would be too overbearing and no one would dare to bid for it.
After all, the Clear Sun City was only an acre of land, so they still had to give face to the Clear River Sect.
Xu Wanqing was the sect master of the Clear River Sect, and this was fate. After all, his ancestors were the sect masters of the Clear River Sect.
It could be said that the Clear River Sect was a sect transformed from a family clan. Moreover, the transformation was very successful 100 years ago.
However, the Myriad Treasure Pavilion's influence wasn't bad either. The key was that they didn't reside in one place but spread out everywhere.
Therefore, in terms of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion's influence, even he, the person in charge of the auction, was on equal footing with Xu Wanqing.
In that case, the Myriad Treasure Pavilion's influence was definitely greater than the Clear River Sect's.
In the face of benefits, Tian Yuyin didn't care whether Xu Wanqing was a brother or not. After all, this was a transaction of benefits.
"One hundred and eleven cubic meters of spirit qi."
Hearing Tian Yuyin's words, Jiang Chen sneered and unhurriedly increased the price.
Jiang Chen didn't care whether the Tianyuan Mirror was useful to him or not.
"You???"
Xu Wanqing almost exploded in anger. His eyes swept back and forth between Tian Yuyin and Jiang Chen.
"One hundred and twenty cubic meters of spirit qi."
Seeing that Tian Yuyin was about to hit the wooden gavel, Tian Yuyin had no choice but to speak again.
He was determined to obtain the Tianyuan Mirror. It was also the key to this auction.
"One hundred and twenty-one cubic meters of spirit qi."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly when he saw that the other's face was red with anger. He continued to raise the price at a leisurely pace.
"Who is this young man? He dares to confront Xu Wanqing like this."
"He's really a man. I wonder if he'll still be the same after eighteen years."
"Indeed. Although he's sitting on top, one hundred and twenty-one cubic meters of spirit qi is no joke."
"That's one mid grade spirit stone and two low grade spirit stones. Even an ordinary sect wouldn't be able to take out that much."
"Many Xiantian masters wouldn't be able to take out that much either. He's just a brat who's still wet behind the ears."
“.....”
Some below mocked, while others were shocked. However, in Xu Wanqing's view, Tian Yuyin was provoking him.
"Brat, you're good. Let's see if you have the ability to take out one hundred and twenty-one cubic meters of spirit qi."
Xu Wanqing's face was gloomy. Although he was a sect leader, he wasn't from a large sect like the Tiangang school.
Even a large sect like the Tiangang school had to send their disciples to a dangerous place like the Secret Realm to obtain spirit stones, let alone a small sect like theirs.
To be able to have one mid grade spirit stone, it was accumulated by their ancestors.
Xu Wanqing was even prepared to use other things to replace the spirit stone. However, seeing that Jiang Chen was so stubborn, he couldn't do anything.
"You don't have to worry about that."
Jiang Chen smiled disdainfully. Although he didn't need the Tianyuan Mirror, he couldn't let this old man get it.
"Hmph, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring it out of Qingyang City alive."
Xu Wanqing didn't have the slightest hesitation. This Tianyuan Mirror was too important to him.
Of course, he didn't want the Tianyuan Mirror to steal the martial arts of other sects.
His Tianyuan Sect had its own martial arts, and he wanted the Tianyuan Mirror to find something, something extremely important to him.
With this item, he could even reach the Grandmaster stage faster.
Although his character wasn't good, he could be considered a genius in cultivation.
Otherwise, although the Clear River Sect was a family-run sect, they wouldn't have pushed a trash to be their sect leader.
After all, he was too powerful at this moment, so powerful that all his flaws were covered up.
"If you want to snatch it, I'll welcome you at any time!"
Jiang Chen didn't hold back and directly said.
The surrounding crowd couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air.
What arrogance.
However, the next sentence made the crowd no longer dare to underestimate Jiang Chen.
